Show California Experts Still Are Trying to Dope Game 1 Wash and Jeff Given Credit but Bears Believed to Be Off Form ASADENA Cal Jan Jaci 16 Football Football P PASADENA experts especially sporting writers are still sUll trying to dope out the result of ot the West East-West game While good sportsmanship requires that all aU possible credit be given Iven to Washington for winning a hard fought game on a bad field and outplaying California in practical practically practically y every phase of the game nevertheless nevertheless nevertheless never never- it was obvious that the California California Califor Califor- nia ala team which faced the Presidents was not playing the same brand of football which brought them so many record br breaking wins d during n the past t two years e Undoubtedly kJ brem the Presidents were r the strongest aggregation that the wonder team ever faced faced and and the wonder team is still wondering what happened Hence a certain allowance must be made and the credit for California's failure to put up upa a brilliant exhibition of football must be given primarily to Washington and Jef Jef- ferson terson BEARS DEARS WERE OFF I However there Is still no doubt that the Bears ar were off their lr game e. e And t there dt are r certain e r factors i t w which en entered d Into ig this situation V Most sporting writers believe overconfidence overconfidence had a good deal to do with it V The Bears have never really had to ex extend extend ox- ox tend themselves to their limit and certainly they didn't come through In a pinch pinchat at I Pasadena asadena The result would probably V have been different different different-at at least the game would have been a good deal more perilous perilous peril peril- V ous for Washington and Jefferson had the V Bears played the game with as much fight f as ing g Stanford end of the exhibited big t game in P playing with h California the losing losing los los- T on November 19 V Then too the team was probably somewhat somewhat somewhat some some- what stale They couldn't all get work work- working V In ing with the old time punch at one time First a couple of players e would V be ilay playing to tg form and r then a couple of others But the eleven seemed list list- V less PLANS BROKEN Of course California was as planning on a spectacular open game Probably Andy Smith gave too much time to this sort of play and took It ft too much for granted that the line was up to scratch The Presidents stuck to straight foot foot- ball Erickson's terrific line plunges were of the old school of football football and and In preparing for this sort of thing Coach Greasy Neale Nellie showed good head work California gave the impression of being bewildered because they couldn't use the plays they would have used on a fast field For the first time In two years ears fans saw large holes In the California line There have been a few holes before but not consistently and ad it has taken a terrible terrible ter ter- ter- ter amount of energy for the opposing team to put them there there there-so so much energy that it couldn't last V California evidently never considered how they would play playa a gam game on a mudd muddy field They were On theother theother the tho other hand Washington and Jefferson Jetterson didn't seem to mind the mud Another curious point Is that the Washington Washington Wash Wash- ington and Jefferson players seemed to tobe tobe tobe be able to keep their feet better bettor in the mud This was particularly particular true of Erickson and Stein California's back backmost backmost backmost most of the time seemed to be slow in getting started and a number of times slipped before being tackled or before the threat of tackling was imminent On the other hand Washington and Jefferson's Jeffersons Jeffersons Jefferson's Jef Jet I ferson's backs plunged Into the line as asIf asif asif if they had their feet on dry ground and the simple truth was that if any man had momentum and hit the line he could slide over for tor several yards ards gain even It if tackled Many sport writers believe that California California Califor Califor- nia use used poor generalship At one time there was a chance of at a place kick kick kick-In In Inthe the last quarter It was not tried This would undoubtedly have put over a win winfor winfor for fol California Secondly many writers believe that California used poor generalship in continuing continuing con con- the kicking game clean up into the third quarter BREAKS BAD While California gained by the exchange of kicks and probably were playing for tor forthe forthe the breaks breaks breaks-a a fumble or the like still this is a a. a waiting game and it was continued for tor too long Inthe in the th opinion of many It Is believed that this took the fight out of the California line the line the fight tight which they might have put In had kicks been out of the question save savo as a last extremity on the fourth down Some hard line work might have injected pep mj furthermore Furthermore t e 0 eg by the third quarter California Cal Cal- saw that even following ng a kick the Presidents were making malting good progress progress ress ross In fighting the ball back Only at one time did the California team seem to have the old time style This was after went into line lino Then for a couple of times everything in sight was i s smeared and the California f line held fd in st t the old de rock as sti r fash- fash Ion The team seemed to fall to pieces places again shortly afterward There is also some criticism because despite the wet field California didn't try more passes It has been pointed out that while the lon long pass is a n. great thing California stood a good chance to PUt put over small passes for five and yard ten gains gams It was impossible for a a. man to torun torun torun run down under a long pass and hence California abandoned the passing passin game almost ent ely NO WEATHER TEAM While the result might have been different different dif dif- ferent had the field been dry dr nevertheless nevertheless less a a. team is no DO sure thing unless it is prepared to play under any weather conditions con con- and cannot claim to be a a. wonder won on- on der team a as long as it is a a. weather team Unfortunately Washington and JefferSOn JefferSon Jefferson Jeffer Jeffer- son Instead of being content with a moral mOra victory had to get itself In bad This was done through Greasy Neales Neale's statement statement statement state state- ment condemning an official for calling the offside at t the e time of the touchdown The official in question is beyond question in integrity Hence the alibi of Neale has hasa a very bad odor It was poor sportsmanship sportsmanship sports sports- manship and not the type of thing the West Vest is used to It smacks of the fourth rate prize ring and the third rate col col- col- col lege The Tho West cst believes it is better to I lose than to have coaches of this sort Stanford demonstrated that a couple of years ago ngo by dismissing probably the best coach it has ever had for Just such tactics as
